Morning Dew

Journal Log #51

6 A.M., waking up after another cold and bitter night in what they now call Chernarus, I stumble out of my tent and greet the morning dew and the infamous eerie feeling of this post apocalyptic world that has left many in a disarray. After collecting some wood I go ahead and make my morning fire and warm up enough to go on my morning hunt, weapon of choice the CZ 550, I make my way to the deer stand and set up.

7:45 A.M., about 500 meters in the distance a lone boar roams into the field and starts to graze. I start to feel some pity for what I’m about to do to this innocent creature, but in this world food is hard to come by. After the infection hit mass panic ensued and people raided the stores taking every bit of food and drink there was, it was horrendous watching what monsters these people had become trying to avoid the actual monsters out there. In the weeks and months to come everything became more of a nightmare, I had been lucky enough to escape into the forests in the far North, living off of only boiled water and game that I had hunted. As I line up my crosshairs to take the shot that will end this creatures life, it stops and raises it head looking to the east of me and runs off into the woods. The forest had went silent and I could hear the distinct sound of an ATV engine sputtering in the background coming closer to me….

8:15 A.M., jumping down from my stand as quickly as possible I run and hide in some bushes with an overview of everything. The ATV seems to be getting closer and closer until I see it in the distance, it comes to an abrupt stop and the driver kills the engine. I’m left with a thousand thoughts in my head. Did he see me? If he did is he going to be friendly? Should I take the chance or kill him?. He jumps off his ATV and starts looking around in the woods, he starts to come closer to me but I know he can’t see me yet, camouflaged in a full ghillie suit only the most trained individual could see me. He turns back around and gets on his ATV and heads off into the distance.

8:35 A.M., after what seemed like an eternity the noise of his ATV disappears into the background. At this point my adrenaline is rushing and I have a cringing pit in my stomach wanting food. I know there isn’t going to be any animals around now so I make the decision to head into a secluded town to look for food….

Journal Log #52

9:30 A.M., posted up 300 meters out from Gvozdno overlooking the secluded town. All I see is burned out buildings, wreckage, and the occasional zombie. Such a horrid nightmare now, how did our world come to this...it was just a year ago that children were playing, families were spending time together, everything was so peaceful, what anyone would give just to have that time back...

9:40 A.M., scouting the area I decide to make my way around the tree line and slowly sneak into town, M9SD in hand just in case things go sour. After crawling under a few fences I ease my way into a residential house, I hear the floor creak in the next room, my heart drops and I cease all movement, then I hear the eerie moaning and gargles of a zombie. I peek around the corner and see it just standing there looking out the window...could it possibly have a bit of humanity left in it, do any of them have a slither of it left somewhere deep inside? No, I know they don't, I watched as my own brother slaughtered my wife hoping....but it was too late...I line up my pistol and pull the trigger, a muffled shot followed by the zombie collapsing to the ground.

10:00 A.M., finally after spending 20 minutes in the town I made a stealthy exit with some canned sardines and baked beans, now to head back to camp.

10:30 A.M., after heading towards my camp, I smell the distinct scent of a fire in the distance and start to see smoke slowly moving through the air and ground...my heart drops as I notice my camp is set ablaze...in a split second decision I run failing to notice I had already been spotted. Is this the same guy I had encountered earlier today?..No time to think about that, a bullet whiffs by me, cracking and splintering the tree, I set off in a dead sprint trying to duck and weave behind each tree, I know where I'm going and have planned this out a thousand times before in my head...

11:55 A.M., laying down on the cold hard ground behind the Pobeda Dam, I take the time to catch my breath. I know I'm lucky but I must keep moving I've left a trail and need to cover it as fast as possible...
